Non-notable Scandinavian architect. Asserts notability, only references are to the 90 year old man's homepage.— Ryūlóng ( 竜 龍 ) 04:04, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Any sources on him being anything other than an architect? Seems that some reguard him as a puesdoscientist.--Dacium 04:16, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Don't really know; all I know is that on his page at Revisionists.com shows him to be speculative of the Holocaust, with two articles he wrote.— Ryūlóng ( 竜 龍 ) 04:19, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - (naturally, I wrote this :-)
 * References: No, you are wrong: reference no. 2 is to British Journal of Cancer (1953, Vol. VII, p. 68-72). A copy of the article just happens to be on-line his home page. (I do not think you are suggesting this is a forgery.) - Addendum - The article has/had 4 external links, two of them listed as references. Ref #1 contains full excerpts from Who’s Who in the World and Dictionary of International Biography. (These two references are of course a strong indication of notability.)
 * Other than architect?: He seems to be best known as a statistician. Publishing in a peer-reviewed journal on medicine makes him also a contributor to medical science.
 * Notability: There were 4 red link references to Carl O. Nordling before I created this article. (One of them was created by me in last August in Knudson hypothesis) I believe he is notable based on his 1953 paper alone. Alfred G. Knudson published essentially the same theory 18 years after him (also based on statistical information) and received the Albert Lasker Award for Clinical Medical Research (and the theory named after him).

 * P.S. I have copy-edited the Knudson hypothesis article to give due credit to Nordling, based mainly in this reference: Milestone 9: (1953) Two-hit hypothesis - It takes (at least) two to tango at the Nature (journal) (Note the year 1953 for this discovery, often attributed to Knudson in 1971.) If you feel the credit is not due, take it to Talk:Knudson hypothesis. -- Petri Krohn 16:17, 22 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Weak keep but the article should be more specific about the fact that Nordling is not noted as architect but because of his holocaust statistics (sic.) Alf photoman 15:13, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak keep Seems notable but only two books listed? User:Dimadick
